ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews some of the more general points argued along the stops of the road show in order to contemplate what it might mean to cultivate in a neurohermeneutic garden of string being. Neurohermeneutics is the investigation of what makes connections between events in E-space. Neurohermeneutics, while critical of skepticism towards determinism, is skeptical of free will. Neurohermeneutics is a determinism; one that views chance as an unusual concatenation of causal strings. Additionally, it is a determinism that proposes, because humans have some ability to determine how they are determined, that they should follow a procedural cultural strategy of eliminating irresponsible directed determinisms. Neurohermeneutics accepts the assertions of both the systems theorists and the structural Marxists, thus maintaining that humans live in material structures of structures. The knotty view of structural causation also has implications for linearity and non-linearity in the social monism. There is a tendency in some cultural analyses towards an uber-determinism.
